INRODUCION OWR system oscillations an system voltage proile are the two important criteria which eine the perormance o a power system subecte to a isturbance []. here has been much research interest in eveloping new control methoologies or increasing the perormance o the power system. Recent evelopment o power electronics introuces the use o Flexible AC ransmission Systems (FACS) controllers in power systems. hyristor Controlle Series Compensator (CSC) is one o the important members o FACS amily that is increasingly applie with long transmission lines by the utilities in moern power systems [- 8]. he maority o the control methoologies presente in literature concerns improvement o only one type o stability S.

Multi-obective genetic algorithm approach has been applie to esign a CSC controller [9], where the three obectives are closely relate an the voltage eviations are not taken into account. Further, the proceure to obtain the best compromise solution rom the obtaine Pareto set is not aresse. Obviously, the main purpose o esign o any controller is to enable it to improve both oscillatory stability an system voltage proile. Design o such kin o controller is inherently a multi-obective optimisation problem. here are two general approaches to multiple obective optimisations. One approach to solve multi-obective optimisation problems is by combining the multiple obectives into a scalar cost unction, ultimately making the problem single-obective prior to optimisation. However, in practice, it can be very iicult to precisely an accurately select these weights as small perturbations in the weights can lea to very ierent solutions. Further, i the inal solution oun cannot be accepte as a goo compromise, new runs o the optimiser on moiie obective unction using ierent weights may be neee, until a suitable solution is oun. hese methos also have the isavantage o reuiring new runs o the optimiser every time the preerences or weights o the obectives in the multi-obective unction change []. he secon general approach is to etere an entire Pareto optimal solution set or a representative subset. Pareto optimal solution sets are oten preerre to single solutions because they can be practical when consiering real-lie problems, since the inal solution o the ecision maker is always a trae-o between crucial parameters []. he main motivation or using Genetic Algorithm (GA) to solve multi-obective optimisation problems is because GAs eal simultaneously with a set o possible solutions (the socalle population) which allows the user to in several members o the Pareto optimal set in a single run o the algorithm, instea o having to perorm a series o separate runs as in the case o the traitional mathematical programg techniues. he Pareto optimal solutions are ones within the search space whose corresponing obective vector components cannot be improve simultaneously. Aitionally, GAs are less susceptible to the shape or continuity o the Pareto ront as they can easily eal with 5

In this paper, the esign problem o a CSC is ormulate as a multi-obective optimisation problem. GA base multiobective optimisation metho is aapte or generating Pareto solutions in esigning a CSC-base controller. he esign obective is to improve the oscillatory stability an system voltage proile o a power system ollowing a isturbance. Further a uzzy base membership unction value assignment metho is employe to choose the best compromise solution rom the obtaine Pareto set. Simulation results are presente at various loaing conitions to show the eectiveness an robustness o the propose approach. he reer o the paper is organize in ive maor sections. Power system moeling with the propose CSCbase supplementary amping controller is presente in Section II. he propose esign approach an the obective unction are presente in section III. In Section I, an overview o multi-obective optimization gas been presente. he results are presente an iscusse in Section. Finally, in Section I conclusions are given. II. MODLING H POWR SYSM WIH CSC he single-machine ininite-bus (SMIB) power system installe with a CSC, shown in Figure is consiere in this stuy. In the igure, an L represent the reactance o the transormer an the transmission line respectively; an B are the generator teral an ininite bus voltage respectively. CSC is one o the most important an best known FACS evices, which has been in use or many years to increase line power transer as well as to enhance system stability. Basically, a CSC consists o three main components: capacitor bank C, bypass inuctor L an biirectional thyristors SCR an SCR. he iring angles o the thyristors are controlle to aust the CSC reactance in accorance with a system control algorithm, normally in response to some system parameter variations. Accoring to the variation o the thyristor iring angle or conuction angle, this process can be moele as a ast switch between corresponing reactance oere to the power system.

B. Linearize uations In the esign o electromechanical moe amping stabilizer, a linearize incremental moel aroun an operating point is usually employe. he Phillips-Heron moel o the power system with FACS evices is obtaine by linearizing the set o euations () (5) aroun an operating conition o the power system. he linearize expressions are as ollows: b (6) P / [ K K K D ] M (7) [ K 3 K K Q ]/ [ K A ( K 5 K 6 K ) ]/ where, K P K P, K P e, e A P e K 3, K, KQ K K, K 5, 6 he moiie Phillips-Heron moel o the singlemachine ininite-bus (SMIB) power system with CSC-base amping controller is obtaine using linearize euations (6)- (9) as shown in Fig. 3.

Structure o Propose CSC-base Supplementary Damping Controller he commonly use lea lag structure is chosen in this stuy as CSC-base supplementary amping controller as shown in Fig.. he structure consists o a gain block; a signal washout block an two-stage phase compensation block. he phase compensation block provies the appropriate phase-lea characteristics to compensate or the phase lag between input an the output signals. he signal washout block serves as a high-pass ilter which allows signals associate with oscillations in input signal to pass unchange. Without it steay changes in input woul moiy the output. Input K Gain Block sw s sw s Washout Block G CSC ( s ) s3 s wo stage lea-lag Block Fig.. Structure o the propose CSC-base supplementary amping controller Output he amping torue contribute by the CSC can be consiere to be in to two parts. he irst part K P, which is reerre as the irect amping torue, is irectly applie to the electromechanical oscillation loop o the generator. he secon part K Q an K, name as the inirect amping torue, applies through the iel channel o the generator. he amping torue contribute by CSC controller to the electromechanical oscillation loop o the generator is: K K K () D D he transer unctions o the CSC controller is: u CSC K P sw s w D s s s s 3 y () Where, u CSC is the output signal o CSC controller an y is the input signal. he input signal o the propose CSCbase controller is the spee eviation an the output is the change in conuction angle. During steay state conitions = an so the eective reactance is given by: L CSC ( ). During ynamic conitions the series compensation is moulate or amping system oscillations. he eective reactance in ynamic conitions is given by: L CSC ( ), where an ( ), an being initial value o iring an conuction angle respectively. From the viewpoint o the washout unction the value o washout time constant is not critical in lea-lag structure 56

In the present stuy, washout time constant o W s is use. he controller gains K ; an the time constants,, 3 an are to be etere. B. Obective Function It is worth mentioning that the CSC controller is esigne to amp power system oscillations an improve the system voltage proile ater a isturbance. A multi-obective unction base on an is use as an obective unction in the present stuy. he obective can be ormulate as the imisation o unction F given by: F F, F () Where, an t t. t. F. t. t (3) F t () In the above euations, an enote the absolute values o rotor spee an teral voltage eviations ollowing a isturbance an t is the time range o the simulation. For the obective unction calculation, the timeomain simulation o the power system moel is carrie out or the simulation perio. C. Optimization Problem In this stuy, it is aime to imize the propose obective unctions F. he problem constraints are the CSC Controller parameter bouns. hereore, the esign problem can be ormulate as the ollowing optimization problem: Minimize F (5) Subect to K K K (6) (7) (8) (9) () he propose approach employs genetic algorithm to solve this optimization problem an search or optimal set o the CSC Controller parameters. I. MULI-OBJCI OPIMIZAION A. Multi-obective optimization A multi-obective optimization problem (MOP) iers rom a single-obective optimization problem because it contains several obectives that reuire optimization. In case o single obective optimization problems, the best single esign solution is the goal. But or multi-obective problems, with several an possibly conlicting obectives, there is usually no single optimal solution. hereore, the ecision maker is reuire to select a solution rom a inite set by making compromises. A suitable solution shoul provie or acceptable perormance over all obectives. A general ormulation o a MOP consists o a number o obectives with a number o ineuality an euality constraints. Mathematically, the problem can be written as []: imise/imise i (x) or i =,,,n. () Subect to constraints: g (x) h k (x) =,,, J k =,,, K Where i (x) = { (x), n (x)} n = number o obectives or criteria to be optimize x = {x,, x p } is a vector o ecision variables p = number o ecision variables here are two approaches to solve the MOP. One approach is the classical weighte-sum approach where the obective unction is ormulate as a weighte sum o the obectives. But the problem lies in the correct selection o the weights or utility unctions to characterise the ecision-makers preerences. In orer to solve this problem, the secon approach calle Pareto-optimal solution can be aapte. he MOPs usually have no uniue or perect solution, but a set o non-oate, alternative solutions, known as the Paretooptimal set. Assug a imisation problem, oance is eine as ollows: A vector u = (u,.,u n ) is sai to oate v = ( v,..,v n ) i an only i u is partially less than v ( u p< v), i {,,n}, u i v i i {,,n}; u i < v i () A solution x u U is sai to be Pareto-optimal i an only i there is no x v U or which v = (x v ) = (v,,v n ) oates u = (x u ) = ( u,,u n ). B. Pareto-optimal solutions Pareto-optimal solutions are also calle eicient, nonoate, an non-inerior solutions. he corresponing obective vectors are simply calle non-oate. he set o all non-oate vectors is known as the non-oate set, or the trae-o surace, o the problem. A Pareto optimal set is a set o solutions that are non-oate with respect to each other. While moving rom one Pareto solution to another, there is always a certain amount o sacriice in one obective to achieve a certain amount o gain in the other. he elements in the Pareto set has the property that it is impossible to urther reuce any o the obective unctions, without increasing, at least, one o the other obective unctions. 57

C. GA metho or generating Pareto solutions he ability to hanle complex problems, involving eatures such as iscontinuities, multimoality, isoint easible spaces an noisy unction evaluations reinorces the potential eectiveness o GA in optimisation problems. Although, the conventional GA is also suite or some kins o multiobective optimisation problems, it is still iicult to solve those multi-obective optimisation problems in which the iniviual obective unctions are in the conlict conition.

No Gen. >. Gen.? No Yes Yes Fig. 5 Flowchart o the multi-obective genetic algorithm optimization algorithm to generate Pareto solutions Reuce Pareto optimal set size Stop Being a population base approach; GA is well suite to solve MOPs. A generic single-obective GA can be easily moiie to in a set o multiple non-oate solutions in a single run. he ability o GA to simultaneously search ierent regions o a solution space makes it possible to in a iverse set o solutions or iicult problems with nonconvex, iscontinuous, an multi-moal solutions spaces. he crossover operator o GA exploits structures o goo solutions with respect to ierent obectives to create new nonoate solutions in unexplore parts o the Pareto ront. In aition, most multi-obective GA oes not reuire the user to prioritise, scale, or weigh obectives. hereore, GA has been the most popular heuristic approach to multi-obective esign an optimization problems. Pareto-base itness assignment was irst propose by Golberg [5], the iea being to assign eual probability o reprouction to all non-oate iniviuals in the population. he metho consiste o assigning rank to the non-oate iniviuals an removing them rom contention, then ining a new set o non-oate iniviuals, ranke, an so orth. In the present stuy, beore ining the Pareto-optimal iniviuals or the current generation, the Pareto-optimal iniviuals rom the previous generation are ae. he computational low chart o the propose multi-obective optimization algorithm is shown in Fig. 5.. RSULS AND DISCUSSIONS A.

Optimization is terate by the prespeciie number o generations. While applying GA, a number o parameters are reuire to be speciie. An appropriate choice o the parameters aects the spee o convergence o the algorithm. able I shows the speciie parameters or the GA algorithm. One more important actor that aects the optimal solution more or less is the range or unknowns.

Without optimize CSC controller parameters the system stability is maintaine as the electromechanical moe eigenvalue shit to the let o the line in s-plane (s = -.8, -.88, -.88 or noal, light an heavy loaing respectively) or all loaing conitions. It is also clear that optimize CSC controller shits substantially the electromechanical moe eigenvalue to the let o the line (s = , , or noal, light an heavy loaing respectively) in the s-plane, which enhances the system stability an improves the amping characteristics o electromechanical moe. is represente by a membership unction eine as [6]:,, (), where an are the imum an imum values o the -th obective unction, respectively. For each solution i, the membership unction calculate as: n i is i i (3) m n i i where, n is the number o obectives unctions an m is the number o solutions. he solution having the imum value i o is the best compromise solution. Using the above approach the best compromise solution is obtaine as: K = , =.68 s, =.637 s, 3 =.36 s an =.36 s C. igenvalue Analysis o assess the eectiveness an robustness o the propose stabilizers, three ierent loaing conitions given in able II are consiere. he system electromechanical moe eigenvalues without an with the propose controllers are shown in able III. able III also shows the system electromechanical eigenvalues without optimize CSC controller parameters.
